      Obituary: San Francisco May 2, 1993. "At rest at home on April 29, 1993 beloved father of Hugh R. Christenson of New York. He was born in Oakland in 1902. He founded the Christenson and Gutmann Insurance company and lived in Menlo Park since 1936. He was a member of the Olympic Club for 70 years and graduated UC Berkeley. A memorial service was held to be followed by a memorial scattering at sea near Golden Gatefrom the sailing ship, Windson by John O'Connor's Menlo Colonial Chapel.Donations to your favorite charities preferred."

      Notes: These are taken from his green photo book. Hugh went to Berkeley High School and then graduated from UCAL Berkeley. He played water polo. His team mates called him "rabbit." He swam for the Olympic Club. Fancy diving and 220 were events he won. He at UC Berkeley in 1918(?). The Olympic Club had an amateur team. Feb. 7 a newspaper article was written by Ernest M. Smith stating the following: "There are a number of men, sucha as the diminutive Hughie Christenson who are playing bang-up water polo." and on Feb 22 "Olympic Club team beat Hawaiian Outriggers. The visitors easily outclassed the Outriggers, the shooting and relaying of Christenson featuring fine goals for the O." Picture of him with team in 1926 where he won 2nd play at a National event.
